Resettlement Action Plan

A Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is a detailed plan developed by organizations to help people who must move or lose their land due to development projects, like building roads or dams. The plan ensures affected individuals receive fair compensation, new housing, and support to restore or improve their livelihoods. It aims to minimize hardship, respect people's rights, and involve communities in decision-making. Essentially, a RAP provides a structured approach to manage relocations responsibly, ensuring fairness and transparency throughout the process.
